Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels is preaching patience when it comes to evaluating the performance of rookie receivers N’Keal Harry and Jakobi Meyers.
“I know everybody wants everything to be a finished product — and we do, too — but at the same time, you have to understand there’s going to be a process and we’re going to stick to it,’’ McDaniels said in a conference call Tuesday morning.
As New England’s offense still seeks to find its rhythm 12 games into the season, Harry and Meyers have fast-tracked their way to prominence. The two youngsters have become important elements in the passing game, with veteran Julian Edelman battling a nagging shoulder injury and fellow receivers Phillip Dorsett (concussion) and Mohamed Sanu (ankle) recently limited in practice with injuries of their own.
